1. Before Using the Product
Restrictions
This product is used in a combination with the optional expansion adapter. The following restrictions
apply to the situation when the expansion adapter is connected to the expansion chassis.
This product has restrictions on the types of PCs and boards that can be used.
Be sure to check the following restrictions before use.
< Restrictions of PC >
This product use the switch fabric to extend the bus.
The PCI boards plugged in PCI slots in this product is recognized if the switch fabric is recognized as the
PCI-to-PCI bridge by the BIOS in the PC used. Ask the PC vendor for whether the BIOS recognizes the
PCI-to-PCI bridge.
< Restriction on power interlocking >
Power interlocking does not work well if the PCI bus slots on your PC do not conform to PCI Local Bus
Specification Rev. 2.2. Ask the PC vendor for whether the PCI bus slots conform to the specification.
When power interlocking is not needed, the expansion chassis can be used without it by changing the
setting of the expansion bus adapter in the chassis. For details on setting up, refer to Chapter2, “Setup”.
< Restrictions on transfer rate >
When the expansion chassis accommodates a board that performs high-speed transfer such as bus
mastering, the overall transfer rate may be lower than that of PCI bus slots in the main unit of a desktop
PC.
This is caused by bus extension by the PCI-to-PCI Bridge.
The transfer rate may vary with the system configuration and the type of the PC.
< Restrictions of PCI board >
None of the following boards can be plugged into any expansion slot in this product.
-
Video display board (VGA board)
-
Board to connect a PCI bus expansion chassis
-
Board explicitly stated not to be used with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge
Some boards, even PCI-compliant ones, may not work depending on their specifications

6
Do not plug or unplug any board into or from an expansion slot with the PC or
ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A powered. Doing so may result in a malfunction, overheating, or fault.
Be sure to turn off the PC and ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A and unplug their power cables before
plugging or unplugging any expansion board.
Do not plug or unplug the cable interconnecting the PC and the expansion chassis with the PC or
ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A powered.
Do not turn on or off the power switch of the ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A with the PC powered.
Doing so may result in a malfunction.
The total current consumption by the boards installed in the expansion slots in the
ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A must not exceed the maximum power capacity of its power supply.
Failure to supply ample power to expansion boards could result in a malfunction, overheating, or
fault.
The external supply voltage or drive current must not exceed the rating.
Do not connect any signal other than specified to the on-board connector.
Doing so may result in a malfunction, overheating, fault, or damage.
If a specific expansion slot is recommended for a board, plug the board into that slot. Failure to do so
may result in a malfunction, overheating, fault, or damage.
When plugging or unplugging the power cable, be sure to hold it by the plug itself.
Since the expansion chassis is a precision device, do not store or use it where it is subject to shock or
vibration. Also avoid any place where the chassis is exposed to direct sunlight, extremely high
humidity, or much dust.
ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A
1. Before Using the Product
-
-
Do not use or store the chassis where it is exposed to any chemical either directly or as vapor in the
air.
The chassis has ventilating slits to prevent it from overheating. Avoid using the chassis with the
ventilating slits blocked or in an ill-ventilated place.
Do not use the chassis near equipment generating a strong magnetic field or noise.
Doing so may result in a malfunction, overheating, fault, or damage in the chassis, your PC, or both.
It is very dangerous to use the chassis with water, liquid, or metal (conductive) chips left inside. Be
careful not to let such foreign matters in the chassis.
Do not use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with square-wave output, as connecting it may
damage the system.
The specifications of this product are subject to change without notice for enhancement or quality
improvement.
Even when using the product continuously, be sure to read the manual and understand the contents.

Step 5 Setup and Check
Starting the system
This product is turned on and off in sync with the PC’s power supply. When the PC detects the expansion
adapter, this product is turned on.
Turning on the system
(1) Plug the power plug of this product into a wall outlet.
You do not need to press the POWER switch on the front panel (*1).
(2) The power supply of a PC is turned ON.
(3) As soon as the expansion adapter is recognized by the PC, this product is turned on automatically.
(4) Make sure that the POWER LED on this product and the LINK LED on the RJ-45 connector is on.
Turning off the system
(1) The power supply of a PC is turned OFF.
(2) This product is turned off in synchronization with the PC’s power supply.
*1 Pressing the POWER switch on the front panel of this product turns on this product or puts it to sleep.
Use the switch, for example, to turn on only this product.
CAUTION
-
Do not turn on or off this product with the PC main unit powered.
Doing so cancels the detection of the bus adapter. When turning the expansion chassis on back,
restart the PC main unit.
-
If you turn on the PC after turning it off, keep a time interval of at least 10 seconds in between. If the
power OFF-to-ON interval is too short, the expansion chassis may fail to be turned on.

2. Setup
Setting up the hardware in Windows
Upon startup of Windows, the switch fabric devices used by the expansion adapter and the expansion
chassis are detected as a PCI-to-PCI Bridge and Other PCI Bridge Device in sequence. PCI-to-PCI
Bridges are recognized automatically by a Windows standard driver but Other PCI Bridge Devices are
not supported by any Windows standard driver. Therefore the Other PCI Bridge Device requires an INF
file before it can be recognized correctly.
(Note that the expansion chassis works normally even without the INF file.)
After that, the PCI boards installed on this product is detected in sequence.
For setting up and checking the boards used on the expansion chassis, refer to their respective manuals.
Checking the hardware in Windows
You can use Device Manager to check whether this product has been identified in Windows. Device
Manager shows “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” under “System devices”.
This product in use can be identified with the number of "PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge" entries. If the
number of “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” is not sufficient, or the boards on the expansion chassis are
not recognized, restart Windows. They may not be recognized without restarting.

chassis is turned on with no board installed, check the total current consumption by the installed
boards. The total current consumption must not exceed the power capacity of this product.
No PCI board on this product is detected.

Make sure that the POWER LED on this product is turned on.
Make sure that the LED (LINK) built in the RJ-45 connector is on.
When used in an environment susceptible to extraneous noise, UTP cables may cause link
connection. It is therefore recommended to use either the standard or commercial STP cables.
When there is no problem in all of e ~ i, turn ON the power supply of a PC after setting to "not link"
and turning ON the power supply of this product first, refer to “Chapter2 Step1 - Power interlocking
of the expansion chassis”.

CAUTION
The power supply and cooling fan in the ECH-PCI-SF2-H4A/H7A/F7A are consumables, requiring
replacement after use for a certain period of time. Although each of the parts should be replaced
after use for the following period of time in principle, the life may be shortened depending on the
operating environment. Keep in mind that the lives of the parts may be extremely shortened if they
are used where it is either exposed to must dirt, metal chips or particles, or dust or affected by oil or
corrosive gas.
